New AI models generate functional RNA sequences for protein interaction

Researchers have developed Moirain, a new suite of models for generating RNA sequences that can interact with specific proteins. This approach uses multimodal supervised fine-tuning and Direct Preference Optimization, building on large-scale pretraining of RNA corpora. Moirain aims to improve the success rate of functional RNA design by conditioning generation on protein structural and sequential features, and refining the model with synthetic interaction data to enhance binding affinities.
